Japanese Virtual Console list - November 2007

Japan's Virtual Console list for November has been published, and it has some surprises - including a fan-favourite SNES puzzler. Yup, it's none other than Nintendo's strange take on Tetris (Well, that's what they want you to believe anyway), Tetris Attack! Alongside it are a few more small surprises, including the first Square game that was originally released outside Japan. Here's the full list:

The Dynastic Hero and Top Hunter were both released in the US. Additionally, although the original Panel de Pon would later be re-tooled into Tetris Attack, the US/EU version was re-released in Japan as Yoshi's Panel de Pon. Since they are only getting the original version, it isn't a guarantee of a Western release, although I suspect we'll see TA eventually.

From the looks of things they're going to release around 10 N64 games every year. Which is very slow really, but think, after 5 years, thats 50 games to choose from, so surely all the classics will come eventually..? Or maybe not. Is 50 enough? Well I just want Zelda MM and all the games by Rare, which probably will never come on it anyway.

When is Neo Geo going to put out the good games that defined the system and pushed its graphics and sounds. Games that have the fun factor, the ones we love and want instead of the mediocre games we have been getting. Fans want games such as Samurai Showdown 2, Fatal Fury Special, King of Fighters 98, Mark of Wolves, The Last Blade,Magical Drop 3, Metal Slug (series),Shock Troopers, Blazing Star, Pulstar, Waku Waku 7, Real Bout Special, King of Fighters 2000, Aero Fighter 2, World Heroes 2, Bust –A- Move, and Wind Jammers. Neo Geo has so many good games so hopefully we will see some these games come out.

Frank - most of those games if released right now would render all the early games on the neogeo pointless downloads. they're starting from the very early games and working forward it seems to get money out of their first games while they can.

nobody would download fatal fury 1 if mark of the wolves was available at the same time.

I`d like to see more SNES-games in the future like Kirby Superstar/Fun Pack, Yoschis Island, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 4 or Terranigma. But Mischief Makers (from Treasure) for the N-64 would also be great!

I notice that no one mentioned their uncontainable enthusiasm regarding the release of Tetris Attack. C'mon, ya'll, Eff a N64 game, this is TETRIS ATTACK! I've been waiting since the day I bought my Wii.
